The Game

Progress updates will be put here.

No, Kovarust isn’t dead yet!

Basic rendering is more or less functional, save for occulsion and greedy meshing, but that's for a bit later. Right now the thing I'm procrastinating with is the design of how to implement entity & chunk loading.

In the meantime, here's a list of features I'm considering, grouped by their likelihood of making it into the base game (excluding the obvious, like, uh, rendering).

Literally the main selling-points

• Server-side LoD generation (far enough to render your mother)
• Gamepad input
• Split-screen multiplayer
• Fleshed-out content & progression even without 20 modpacks
• Expansive Tinkerable™ tools, weapons, & armour system
• Redstone & other technical blocks
• Massive modular dungeons & strongholds
• Cryptographic server-less account authentication
• Still somehow capture the Classic Minecraft feel

Definitely most likely

• Plugins support (client-only mods, server/world plugins, and patches for anything I missed)
• In-game proximity voice chat (opus ftw)
• Shadows, coloured lights, & other "fancy" graphics (but not too fancy)
• Simple server-side anticheat (if the player can't see it, don't send it)
• Multi-threaded worlds depending how far players are

Within possibility

• Native VR support
• Halflife-style auto-mod-downloading from servers (depending on implementation)
• Compatability with Minecraft/Minetest/OpenMiner servers (maybe a plugin that overrides networking?)

Nah yeah nah

• Eating dirt
• Attack cooldowns
• Herobrine
• Pandas, Phantoms, Boe Jiden and whatever other cringe new mobs came out after 1.19.84
